Happy Saturday!!

So, I'm about to go out and have a fun date night with my hubby. I totally need it, too. All day Thurs, Fri, and today, I have been studying/reading/making flashcards. I found a really awesome flashcard app for my iPod touch.....I was able to make nearly 200 flashcards on http://www.quizlet.com/ and export them to my iPod. It took me a while to type them all out, but it was time well spent. Now, I can stop worrying about the time I will losing to study tomorrow during a barbecue my in-laws are throwing, because I can go through my flashcards during it and not have a barricade of books around me. I decided to be nice and share them my study buddies, I just spent too much time on them to not let others benefit from it.



Speaking of which, we are having a study session on Monday, and I feel a little better about it because I did so much review just from making the flashcards. I have this fear of looking like the weakest link. I don't need to be the smartest, or get the highest grades, I just don't want to look like I didn't even try when everyone else has the subject matter down.

I guess all that matters is that my anxiety has gone down a bit about the test. I'm still anxious about it, but I don't feel panicked. I'm trying to remember that I can't let this one test make me ignore everything else, because we have our first test in Patho next Monday. I realize that it's really important to stay on top of things, and not put off anything else I absolutely have to. I could have waited to get caught up on my reading for fundamentals, but it would have been even more hellish for me to do that reading this next week on top of the reading I need to do for the week after, on top of studying for my patho test.....and on and on and on. I need to really maximize my time for reading during the week (i.e. mon-wed when I tend to slack) so I have thurs-sun to study for the next week's test.

OK, so now that I've stated the obvious...let's get back to date night. We are going to go see Going the Distance. It tickles me pink because Mike and I had a long distance relationship, so I can totally relate! And plus, my brain is a bowl of oatmeal right now, so I need to give it some dumb-down-time so it can congeal back into its normal form.
